Product Details

Product Description

Ingram

Asked by the President to head an important government group, Andrew Trevayne's wife and daughter are attacked. 3 cassettes. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


From the Publisher

"Brilliant, fearless, incorruptible, Andrew Trevayne was a self-made millionaire at thirty-five, former undersecretary of state, current head of one of the nation's most prestigious foundations. Now, at the express wish of the president, Trevayne undertakes an investigation into the "secret government" -- and is swept up in a tidal wave of intrigue and danger beyond the corridors of official power...into a nightmare maze where Mafia leaders and billionaires mingle... where Congress and even the presidency itself can be bought and sold. Here, in this sizzling world of mystery, seduction, and betrayal... where his family's survival and his own hinge on a hair trigger... where sinister forces are poised to exact a chilling conspiracy... here, a man like Trevayne can become a dreaded enemy, a duped pawn -- or a king.

"A taut novel that spares no one!" -- The New York Times.

"Don't ever begin a Ludlum novel if you have to work the next day." -- Chicago Sun-Times.

"A fascinating, meaty spine-tingler." -- Library Journal.

"Brilliant... A story of power, intrigue, ambition, greed, corruption, and horror." -- King Features Syndicate. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars too boring.. too lengthy, Jul 20 2001
By Zango (India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trevayne (Paperback)
Got frustrated reading this book. No pace. Not for Alistair McLean kind of readers. You can easily quit reading this book even if you are in the middle. I only completed it for the heck of it.. wonder why I started reading it at all. I should have read Detective(Arthur Hailey) instead. Would have insured I finish it in the same night, rather than spread it out over almost 2 weeks, as Trevayne did. However, Trevayne and Bonner did make a good combo. Both had a great character. The only interesting points in the novel are when these two are in conversation or Trevayne is with Sam. Nothing else.

3.0 out of 5 stars I Can't Believe I Read The Whole Thing!, Mar 17 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: TREVAYNE (Mass Market Paperback)
I tried to overlook the fact that this book was written over two decades ago. I suppose if I had read it when it came out it might have been a page turner.

The characters were believable enough, but the plot wasn't. You pick a guy for a controversial sub-committee, add a bunch of corrupt politicians and businessment (are there any other kind?) and all hell breaks loose. Add in some unbelievable circumstances (gee, from America's top hated to America's next President) and you get a book that for some reason kept me reading for a couple of weeks.

I should have followed by instincts and dropped it.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, but out of date, Jan 1 2001
By J. Peterson "jenpeterson" (United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Trevayne (Paperback)
Mr. Ludlum, in his preface to this edition, says that he re-issued this book after Iran-Contra because he felt that it "mirrored" in a way, Watergate, but that he didn't want to update the book. I think that it could have done with some updating. The book is a good read--a fast read. I found the lapses in time a little confusing, but I liked Andy & Phyllis. I didn't really know what to do about Madison & Bonner, though. It seemed to be a case of the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing, all throughout the book--which makes it suspenseful, i guess, but rather confusing. I tended to forget who was on which bad-guy team. The ending of the book is pretty predictible once you get to the last few sections--but there are some twists thrown in. A good read if you don't mind low-tech technothrillers.
